TINJAUAN PUSTAKA

Sumber cahaya merupakan lampu deuterium. Sinar UV apat diserap oleh senyawa yang
tidak memiliki warna (bening dan transparan) dan tidak memperlukan reagent tertentu.
Apabila analit keruh, analit dapat dibuat jernih dengan filtrasi dan sentrifugasi. Selain
itu, sampel harus larut sempurna dalam pelarut agar bisa dianalisis dengan
spektrofotometri UV.

2.3 Prinsip Kerja
Cahaya yang berasal dari lampu deuterium maupun wolfram yang bersifat polikromatis
di teruskan melalui lensa menuju ke monokromator pada spektrofotometer dan filter cahaya
pada fotometer. Monokromator kemudian akan mengubah cahaya polikromatis menjadi
cahaya monokromatis (tunggal). Berkas-berkas cahaya dengan panjang tertentu kemudian akan
dilewatkan pada sampel yang mengandung suatu zat dalam konsentrasi tertentu. Oleh karena
itu, terdapat cahaya yang diserap (diabsorbsi) dan ada pula yang dilewatkan. Cahaya yang
dilewatkan ini kemudian di terima oleh detector. Detector kemudian akan menghitung cahaya
yang diterima dan mengetahui cahaya yang diserap oleh sampel. Cahaya yang diserap
sebanding dengan konsentrasi zat yang terkandung dalam sampel sehingga akan diketahui
konsentrasi zat dalam sampel secara kuantitatif.

4.2 Pembahasan
4.2.1 Identifikasi
Identifikasi yang kami lakukan adalah identifikasi kedua atau identifikasi B,
identifikasi kedua adalah reaksi diazotasi dari kloramfenikol yang mempunyai gugus amin
sekunder. Adanya penambahan serbuk zink berfungsi untuk mereduksi gugus amin
sekunder menjadi gugus amin primer yang ditandai dengan terbentuknya warna merah.
Pada percobaan ini, dilakukan dua perlakuan berbeda, yang satu larutan filtrat diberikan
serbuk zink sedangkan yang satu lagi tidak diberikan serbuk zink. Dengan penambahan
serbuk zink, larutan tidak berubah warna menjadi merah dan tanpa ditambahkan dengan
serbuk zink, larutan juga tidak berubah warna menjadi merah tetapi menjadi kuning. Dari
hasil tersebut, disimpulkan bahwa gugus amin sekunder tidak tereduksi sempurna karena
faktor sediaan yang sudah kadaluarsa, kadaluarsa sediaan yaitu tahun 2013, identifikasi
dilakukan tahun 2017, sedangkan salep mata masa kadaluarsanya satu tahun dan salep
mata yang kami uji sudah lewat batas kadaluarsa selama 4 tahun. Apabila gugus amin
tereduksi seharusnya bila ditambahkan serbuk zink maka akan terbentuk warna merah dan
dengan reaksi identifikasi salep Kloramfenikol sebagai berikut.

termasuk blanko dengan respon instrument. Pada praktikum kali ini, diperoleh r sebesar
0,999 yang artinya linier karena mendekati 1.
Hasil kurva kalibrasi mungkin saja kurang akurat, karena beberapa kesalahan yaitu
kurang teliti dalam pembuatan larutan serta pengenceran yang kurang sempurna, kuvet
yang kurang bersih, terjadinya serapan radiasi oleh sidik jari pada kuvet, sensitivitas alat,
adanya serapan oleh pelarut, adanya gelembung udara atau gas dalam lintasan radiasi
panjang gelombang, ataupun kurang teliti praktikan dalam pengamatan.
a. Presisi
Pada percobaan, dilakukan pengukuran standar deviasi (SD) dan koefisien variasi
(KV) dari hasil analisis yang telah diperoleh untuk setiap berat simulasi salep
kloramfenikol. Dimana, pada konsentrasi 80%, diperoleh standar deviasi sebesar 2,2856
dan KV sebesar 8,45%. Sedangkan pada konsentrasi 100% diperoleh SD sebesar 0,9215
dan KV sebesar 2,68%, dan pada konsentrasi 120% diperoleh SD sebesar 1,0065 dan KV
sebesar 2,19%.
Presisi adalah ukuran yang menunjukkan derajat kesesuaian antara hasil uji
individual, diukur melalui penyebaran hasil individual dari rata-rata jika prosedur
diterapkan secara berulang pada sampel-sampel yang diambil dari campuran yang
homogen (Harmita, 2004). Syarat suatu data dinyatakan presisi adalah jika nilai KV ≤
2%. Jika dilihat dari nilai KV yang diperoleh dari masing-masing konsentrasi, maka dapat
dikatakan bahwa ketiga hasil tersebut tidak memenuhi syarat presisi.
b. Akurasi
Akurasi (kecermatan) merupakan ukuran yang menunjukkan derajat kedekatan
hasil penetapan analisis dengan hasil sebenarnya. Uji akurasi dimaksudkan untuk
24
menjamin ketepatan atau keakuratan sebuah metode pengujian maupun kalibrasi
sehingga mampu menghasilkan data yang valid. Uji akurasi dapat dilakukan dengan dua
cara, yaitu metode simulasi dan metode penambahan baku (adisi). Metode simulasi
dilakukan dengan membuat sampel plasebo lalu ditambahkan analit dengan konsentrasi
tertentu dari kadar analit yang diperkirakan, kemudian dianalisis dengan metode yang
akan diverifikasi. Sedangkan metode adisi dilakukan dengan menambahkan sejumlah
analit dengan konsentrasi tertentu pada sampel, lalu dianalisis dengan metode yang akan
diverifikasi.
Pada uji akurasi ini, dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode simulasi, yakni
dengan membuat sampel simulasi salep kloramfenikol pada kadar 80%, 100%, dan
120%, dibuat dengan menambahkan sejumlah analit bahan murni ke dalam campuran
bahan pembawa sediaan (plasebo) kemudian campuran tersebut dianalisis dan hasil yang
diperoleh dibandingkan dengan kadar analit yang ditambahkan (kadar sebenarnya). Hasil
akurasi dapat ditentukan melalui nilai % recovery atau unit perolehan kembali (UPK).
Pertama-tama dilakukan pengujian secara triplo pada konsentrasi 80% dan %UPK
yang diperoleh secara berturut-turut adalah 27,66%; 28,98%; dan 24,53% sehingga nilai
rata-rata UPK yang diperoleh yaitu 27,06%. Selanjutnya pengujian akurasi dilakukan
pada konsentrasi 100% sebanyak 6 kali. Hasil %UPK yang diperoleh berturut-turut
adalah 34,19%; 34,50%; 35,94%; 33,06%; 34,44%; dan 34,25%. Dari hasil tersebut,
diperoleh rata-rata UPK sebesar 34,40%. Terakhir pengujian akurasi dilakukan pada
konsentrasi 120% secara triplo dengan hasil %UPK berturut-turut 44,95%, 45,47%, dan
47,29%. Dari ketiga hasil ini diperoleh rata-rata %UPK yaitu 45,90%.
Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan tersebut, diketahui ketiga uji pada sampel simulasi
salep kloramfenikol (kadar 80%, 100%, dan 120%) tidak ada yang memenuhi persyaratan
akurasi (syarat penerimaan % recovery yaitu 95,0–105,0%) maupun presisi. Perolehan
hasil % recovery dan juga %KV sangat jauh menyimpang dari persyaratan penerimaan
yang kemungkinan dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa hal:
- Sediaan sampel salep yang diterima oleh praktikan sudah kadaluarsa, bahkan sangat
melebihi waktu kadaluarsa yang telah ditentukan dan tertera pada etiket (sudah lewat
batas kadaluarsa selama 4 tahun);
- Kesalahan dalam melakukan pengenceran;
25
- Kesalahan praktikan dalam membuat sampel simulasi salep (kemungkinan akibat
ketidaktepatan perbandingan antara zat aktif dengan basis);
- Kesalahan saat proses preparasi sampel, seperti kontaminasi saat proses preparasi
dan kurang lamanya pengocokan saat ekstraksi dalam corong pisah, sehingga hal-
hal tersebut memungkinkan dapat memicu pada ketidakakuratan metode yang
dilakukan.

PENUTUP
5.1 Kesimpulan
No. Parameter Uji Hasil
1. Identifikasi Tidak memenuhi syarat
2. Kurva kalibrasi y = 0,1668 + 0,029x; r = 0,999 (Memenuhi syarat
linearitas)
3. Akurasi (% Recovery) Berada pada kisaran 27,06% - 45,90%
(Tidak memenuhi syarat 98%-102%)
4. Presisi (% RSD) Rata-rata KV adalah 8,45%; 2,68%; dan 2,19% (Tidak
memenuhi syarat ≤ 2%)
5. Kadar Berada pada kisaran 57% - 62,7% (Tidak memenuhi
syarat 95%-105%)
Dari hasil di atas, dapat dismpulkan bahwa metode ini tidak dapat digunakan untuk
penetapan kadar salep kloramfenikol pada laboratorium kimia kuantitatif.
5.2 Saran
Praktikan berharap untuk praktikum penetapan kadar kloramfenikol dalam sediaan
salep dengan metode spektrofotometri berikutnya diperhatikan hal-hal seperti memastikan
alat yang digunankan sedang dalam keadaan bai, memastikan bahan yang digunakan tidak
kadaluwarsa, dan perhatikan pula waktu eksraksi agar sampel dapat terekstraksi dari
matriksnya.
